mmmm
THIS is the moment a 'water tornado' was seen swirling in the sea off the Costa del Sol.

The footage was shared on community Instagram page Fuengirolasequeja on Wednesday.

The clip shows a thick column of air connected to the clouds meandering its way towards the coast.

It came before the entire Costa del Sol was put on an orange-level warning for strong rain and storms today.

'Water tornados' are called 'waterspouts' and are similar to tornadoes over water, according to Weather.gov.
